Summary
A golden retriever named Mak, a beloved therapy dog in New Zealand, is set to undergo a groundbreaking surgery this September to fix a rare jaw condition that’s left him unable to open his mouth—or even yawn properly. With a tooth piercing his nasal cavity and standard treatments impossible, Mak’s life-changing procedure will be the first of its kind in the country, involving a global team of specialists. Despite his own pain, Mak has spent years bringing comfort to children, travelers, and grieving hearts—including his owner, Kaye Jones. Now, after years of quietly giving love, it’s his turn to receive it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
